According to him, Arsenal is one of the clubs he loved watching while growing up due to the presence of several French international players who have had some spell with the club including Vieira and Henry.

“My models are Koscielny and Thiago Silva, for his leader mentality,” he told Nord-Eclair over the weekend “Other than that, I dream of playing in the Premier League and to wear Arsenal’s shirt, because when I started to watch football, Vieira, Henry and Bergkamp were there.

He must also ensure he puts in consistent performance for the Ligue 2 side to break into the first-team squad which could bring him more recognition from fans and scouts who would be spying for new and talented players during the upcoming pre-season tour.
